Making a breakfast for a crowd? Free up stovetop space by cooking the bacon in the oven.

Step 1:
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place bacon in a single layer, not overlapping.

Step 2:
Set pan in the oven. Set temperature to 400˚F. No need to preheat oven! Having the oven temperature slowly rise will prevent bacon from overly shrinking. Roast 18 minutes, or until bacon achieves the desired crispness.

Step 3:
Drain the bacon well on paper towels, and then serve with your other breakfast items.
